You may already be aware of the growing field of mindfulness. Mindfulness is being aware of the present moment, while calmly accepting your feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. Mindfulness programs, which often encompass yoga, meditation and breathing techniques, are now in high demand in all over the United States. Besides stress reduction, mindfulness skills help kids improve their memory, organizational skills, reading and math scores.
Moving stress from toxic to tolerable involves increasing the number of protective relationships in children's lives and helping them learn how to regulate their nervous system, which is where mindfulness comes in. This skill allows children to manage their internal world regardless of what comes at them externally, which is a concept that even younger children can understand.
In this course, you will gain in-depth knowledge into what mindfulness is, learn about the benefits it can offer your students, and then dig into how to actually teach these techniques. There is no experience needed in yoga or meditation to take this course. You can easily teach these mindfulness tools using the easy-to-follow videos and resources.
